ArmInfo.. Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan, after returning from Nur-Sultan, had a telephone conversation with Arsenal midfielder Henrikh Mkhitaryan and expressed his support for him. Pashinyan announced this on his page on the Facebook network.
"On his return from Nu-Sultan, he held a telephone conversation with Henrikh Mkhitaryan, expressed his support for today's match <Arsenal>- "Chelsea" in which Heinrich cannot participate because of the racist position of Baku. I told Henry that we admire and are proud of him. With his whole heart and soul, we are with him, "wrote Pashinyan.
Footballer of the London Arsenal Henrikh Mkhitaryan will miss the Europa League final in Baku. This was officially announced earlier "Arsenal". This was due to the fact that the host party did not provide sufficient security guarantees to Mkhitaryan.
<Armenia, of which Heinrich is a citizen, is in a state of conflict with Azerbaijan because of the territorial affiliation of Nagorno-Karabakh. The Azerbaijani authorities do not issue visas to Armenians for entry, although earlier it was reported that the Foreign Ministry is ready to go to meet Mkhitaryan and ensure his participation in the final game. Mkhitaryan had previously missed matches in Azerbaijan twice - this season he did not take part in the LE group stage match with "Karabakh", and earlier, speaking for "Borussia", he could not play with "Gabala"> The Times reported.
